Appendix:Ground Type

type is one of the 18 Pokémon elemental types. Ground-type Pokémon have high Physical Defense, but have low Special Defense and Speed, similar to Rock-type Pokémon. They are commonly known to have a major advantage over Electric-type Pokémon, having an immunity to their attacks as well as hitting them super effectively. In addition, their attacks have wide coverage, being super effective to 5 types, tying with the Fighting-type. Despite this, they have common weaknesses to Water, Grass and Ice-type moves, which is made worse by the fact that most moves from these types target their weaker Special Defense. Gym Leader Prince Ryan of Aredia City specializes in Ground-type Pokémon.
